MOUZ has confirmed Jimi "⁠Jimpphat⁠" Salo's promotion to the main squad

With the German organisation, the 16-year-old, who is the younger brother of 2019 top 20 player of the year Jere "sergej" Salo, will therefore make his professional debut. When Jimpphat joined MOUZ NXT in March 2022, he transitioned from the Finnish scene to international competition. He averaged a 1.18 rating over almost 300 maps while playing with the academy squad, and he led the team to victory in CCT 5 North Europe 5.

The Finn joins a lengthy list of NXT alumni who have joined the first squad and leaves NXT with a WePlay Academy League championship to his credit. He is following in the footsteps of teammates Ádám "⁠torzsi⁠" Torzsás, Dorian "⁠xertioN⁠" Berman, Kamil "⁠siuhy⁠" Szkaradek — who left to GamerLegion between his academy days and his recent return — and even the player he is replacing, Jon "⁠JDC⁠" de Castro.
